Here is a few pics, waiting on speed control and received pack to finish up wiring.

I too am running a 7.4 volt package direct to servo's. I'm running an Y power lead, one into vbar, and one into rx....Because I'm running the Helijive 120, I've been thinking about saving some weight by using the Helijive BEC, and plugging a 6-volt 600mah Ni-Medal Hyd. into an open rx channel....

I'll be there for sure!

Just give me five dudes and two flashbangs...

Gee don't tell my Jives and Jazzes that have internal BECs they could fail, in fact NEVER has happened on one single heli 450- multiple 90s with high draw servos n all, a bunch of bull not trusting a quality BEC over 450, like really?

...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins...

OICU812, I have no definitive proof as to which voltage regulator is being used. It is on speculation at this point...until someone contacts the company and asks the question. Then we will know for sure.

However, applying this logic as to how the two regulators work, it makes sense. I'm not trying to scare anyone, but trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Failure analyses happens to be my strong-suite.

Hi dude!

Sorry to hear your Heli is going..
I do not used any esc with bec at all,all my Helis I am runing with ReactorX2+thunderpower 2s 1900mah lipo both nitro and e,never have any problem.i have jive 80HV and 120HV but I am very happy with CC ice's right now,you can try it and see what happens,hope you have fun with your Rave.
